I went through rush with my roommate two years ago. It's kind of a cool story. I live in an apt complex that pairs you up with random college kids. My roomie and I didn't know each other at all. We called each other over summer just to say hi and found that we both planned on rushing. Well, every day, we would meet up and tell each other our "favorite" house of the day. Since we weren't that close of friends at the time (we met the day before rush started) we didn't even think of getting into the same sorority. Well, on the last day of rush, she told me that she wanted to go Chi O. So, in the end we became not only roomies, but sisters!! Now she's my best friend!
As for living rush over, I would do it. Just because I know so much about rush and the behind the scenes aspect of it. I was so clueless! I would definetly love to do pref night again .
We had a wishing well too!! I remember hearing Shades for the first time that night and getting chills. I also remember how one of the girls who rushed me, brought a copy of the Symphony over to me to read. She told me her favorite line was, "To be womanly always, to be discouraged never." I thought it was beautiful and it became my favorite line ever since! I remember feeling such a strong sisterhood every time I visited the Chi Omegas, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it...and the next day, I was!
